The gripping finale to Robin Hobb?s classic Farseer Trilogy. With the king no
longer living and the heir, Verity, missing and declared dead, Prince Regal has
treacherously seized the throne. Regal?s torture has left Fitz more dead than
alive, and more closely than ever bonded with his wolf. All who once loved him
believe him dead: even Molly, now pregnant with his child. But he cannot go to
her without placing her in terrible danger. With nothing to lose, Fitz sets out
for Tradeford, where Regal has withdrawn, having heartlessly abandoned the north
of the kingdom to the Red-Ship Raiders. His quest: to assassinate the man who
has destroyed his world.
